The Barbican revisits the moment four US geniuses – Cage, Cunningham, Rauschenberg and Johns – discovered the work of the dadaist grandmaster, plus the prince of pop art is back. It's your <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/signup/2011/jul/08/art-weekly-newsletter-sign-up" title="">weekly dispatch from the artistic frontline</a><p>Among a dazzling constellation of exhibitions, this is the most welcome and unexpected – an opportunity to seriously engage with what is arguably the most important and influential moment in art in the last 60 years. In the 1950s, a group of American geniuses – composer <a href="http://johncage.org/" title="">John Cage</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/08/arts/design/jasper-johns-speaks-of-merce-cunningham.html?pagewanted=all&amp;_r=0" title="">choreographer Merce Cunningham</a>, and the artists <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2013/feb/09/robert-rauschenberg-love-loss-jammers" title="">Robert Rauschenberg</a> and <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/jasper-johns/about-the-painter/54/" title="">Jasper Johns</a> – became fascinated by dada, the early 20th-century modern movement that delighted in chance and the random, in found objects and images, in obliterating the distance between art and life. The most enigmatic dadaist, <a href="http://academics.smcvt.edu/gblasdel/art/m.%20duchamp,%20tem%20ennuies2.jpg" title="">Marcel Duchamp</a>, was at that time little-known and had officially retired from making art, but his works and ideas provoked intense creativity in these Americans. The resulting explosion of brilliance led to much of the art of today, from installation to performance, and produced some of the most enduring modern masterpieces. This great moment is being explored at Barbican not just through works of art but also a season of dance, speech, music and live art.<br>• <a href="http://www.barbican.org.uk/artgallery" title="">Barbican Art Gallery</a>, London EC2Y, until 9 June</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2013/feb/15/duchamp-lichtenstein-picasso-bride-bachelors-week-art">Continue reading...</a>Marcel DuchampJasper JohnsExhibitionsInstallationArtSculpturePaintingArt and designBarbicanCultureUS newsWorld newsFri, 15 Feb 2013 13:01:35 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2013/feb/15/duchamp-lichtenstein-picasso-bride-bachelors-week-artPhotograph: Succession Marcel Duchamp, 2013 ADAGP/Paris, DACS/LondonSmoke and mirrors … a five-way portrait of Marcel Duchamp at the Broadway Photo Shop in New York, 1917.
